Once you get the length figured out, get rid of the core for that portion that will be on the drum. The cover can handle the load and it lies nice and flat in the drum. No more tangles...

I bought some new line and am going to install tomorrow, weather permitting. So here's the question. How many feet of line should I have wrapped around the drum before putting the sail back on? I'm running with a 135% headsail, but want to have enough on there to accommodate a 150, if I ever make a change. All the best, Edd -------------------------------Edd M.
